the Series 2017 Bond. In the Original Resolution, the City reserved the right to issue obligations having a lien on Tax Increment subordinate to the lien of the Series 2017 Bond (“Subordinate Obligations”). Any obligation of the City to make payments under this Agreement constitutes a Subordinate Obligation under the Original Resolution, subordinate and junior in all respects to
the repayment of the Series 2017 Bond and the replenishment of the debt service reserve account
for the Series 2017 Bond, and subject to all other terms and conditions of the Original Resolution.
(c) Pursuant to Resolution No. 5370 of the City Commission, the City approved the use of Project Generated Tax Increment, if available, to reimburse the Eligible Costs in a total
amount not to exceed $583,445.

(b) The Developer has good marketable title to the Land, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances and defects except such as do not materially affect the value of the Land or
materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of the Land by the Developer.
(c) The Developer has the financial capability or commitments to complete the Project at a cost not less than $23,500,000.00.
(d) The Developer is not aware of any facts the existence of which would cause the
Developer to be in violation in any material respect of any Environmental Laws and Regulations
applicable to the Project or the Infrastructure Improvements. The Developer has not received from any local, state or federal official any notice or communication indicating that the activities of the Developer have been, may be or will be in violation of any Environmental Laws and Regulations applicable to the Project or the Infrastructure Improvements.
(e) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions hereof is prohibited or limited by, conflicts with or results in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of the certificate of formation, partnership agreement or operating agreement of the Developer or any evidence of indebtedness, agreement or instrument of
whatever nature to which the Developer is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitutes a
default under any of the foregoing.
(f) There is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding now pending or, to the knowledge of the Developer, threatened against or affecting the Developer or its business, operations, properties or condition (financial or otherwise) before or by any governmental
department, commission, board, authority or agency, or any court, arbitrator, mediator or grand
jury, that could, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the ability of the Developer to complete the Project.
(g) The Developer acknowledges and agrees that the sole source of funds for reimbursing the Developer under this Agreement is the Project Generated Tax Increment. The
Developer further acknowledges and agrees the amount of Tax Increment in the District is
dependent upon a number of variables, including, without limitation, the taxable value of the Project, the number of mills levied by Taxing Bodies, and then-prevailing state laws regarding computation of Tax Increment, and that the City has no control over such variables. If Tax Increment in the District decreases, the City may need to use Project Generated Tax Increment to
pay debt service on the Series 2017 Bond or to replenish the debt service reserve account for the
Series 2017 Bond, and there may not be Project Generated Tax Increment available to reimburse the Developer for Eligible Costs, despite the Developer having paid all property taxes then due with respect to the Project. The Developer agrees that if Project Generated Tax Increment is required to be used to pay debt service or replenish the debt service reserve account for the
Series 2017 Bond such that the Project Generated Tax Increment is not available to reimburse
the Developer, the City shall have no obligation to pay to the Developer the amount of reimbursement described in Section 4. The Developer agrees that such event shall not constitute a default by the City hereunder. In such event, if Developer receives no reimbursement but has recorded the Restrictive Covenants described in Section 3.12, the City shall consent to the
termination of the Restrictive Covenant.

(b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and
conditions hereof is prohibited or limited by, conflicts with or results in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of the certificate of formation, partnership agreement or operating agreement of Outlaw or any evidence of indebtedness, agreement or instrument of whatever nature to which Outlaw is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitutes a default under any

(d) Outlaw is under contract to purchase 707 Peach Street, and expects to close on the purchase of 707 Peach Street prior to December 2022.
Section 3. Developer Undertakings; Outlaw Undertakings.
3.1. Construction and Maintenance of Project. The Developer hereby agrees and
commits to the City that it will diligently prosecute to completion the construction of the Project in accordance with this Agreement, the site plan submitted to the City and all applicable federal, State and local laws, rules, regulations, ordinances and plans relating to or governing the development or use of the Project, including applicable Land Use Regulations and

for which it was constructed, and with the appurtenances and every part and parcel thereof, in

3.2. Preparation, Review and Approval of Construction Plans. In connection with the
Project, the Developer, at its sole expense, shall prepare and submit construction plans, drawings,
and related documents for each portion of the Project to the appropriate City officials for architectural, engineering or land use review and written approval or permits. The Developer acknowledges that no review or approval by City officials hereunder may be in any way construed by the Developer to replace, override or be in lieu of any required review, inspection,
or approval by the City Planning Division, or any other building construction official review or
approvals required by any State laws or local ordinances or regulations. Nothing contained in this Agreement indicates or evidences that the City has approved or will approve the Project or any portion thereof. This Agreement does not affect or limit the City’s regulatory powers with regard to the Project, including, without limitation, those relating to building permits or other
permits or the payment of fees. As further described in Section 7.1, the City shall have no
liability and the Developer shall hold the City harmless with respect to any increases in costs of the Project related to or arising out of delays resulting from the City’s regulatory actions or approvals.
3.3. Construction of the Infrastructure Improvements. The Developer shall acquire,
install, construct or otherwise provide the Infrastructure Improvements. The Developer
acknowledges and agrees that the City is not responsible for acquiring, installing, constructing or otherwise providing the Infrastructure Improvements. The estimated costs of the Infrastructure Improvements, which form a part of the Eligible Costs, are shown on Exhibit C hereto.
3.4. Milestones of the Project. Certain steps in the development of the Project are
listed on Exhibit D attached hereto (collectively, the “Milestones”; each a “Milestone”), together
with the dates by which the Developer is obligated to complete the Milestones (collectively, the “Milestone Dates”; each as it relates to a particular Milestone, the “Milestone Date”). The Developer acknowledges and agrees that the City in reserving or offering to make available Tax Increment to pay or reimburse the Eligible Costs necessarily means that certain Tax Increment is
not available to pay or reimburse other undertakings or costs for the benefit of the District and
that the City reasonably expects additional Tax Increment as a result of completion of the Project. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that conditioning the availability of Project Generated Tax Increment to pay or reimburse the Eligible Costs on completion or satisfaction of the Milestones by the corresponding Milestone Dates is reasonable. If the Developer is unable to
complete or satisfy a Milestone by the corresponding Milestone Date, the Developer shall make
a formal written request to the Director of Economic Development, with appropriate supporting material, to extend the Milestone Date and, as appropriate, subsequent Milestone Dates. The Director of Economic Development may, in his or her sole discretion, (i) determine whether such extension is appropriate and, if so, fix a new and superseding Milestone Date and also adjust
other subsequent Milestone Dates, along with any other terms or conditions, or (ii) refer the
request to the City Commission to either approve the extension and adjust other Milestone Dates, as appropriate, or, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement, in which case the City will have no obligation to reimburse the Developer hereunder.
3.5. Prevailing Wage Rates; Competitive Bidding. The Developer understands that
the City is obligated to follow certain laws with respect to the expenditure of public funds, which
includes Tax Increment. The Developer agrees to comply with laws that govern City contracting obligations, including public procurement laws relating to all of the Infrastructure Improvements,
DocuSign Envelope ID: 30986597-FB60-4576-80D4-958E40F6AD8B
10
such as, without limitation, laws and rules regarding prevailing wage and solicitation of work on
a competitive basis.
Without limitation of the foregoing, the Developer agrees that in the awarding of contracts for the Infrastructure Improvements (i) it will, and it will cause its contractor to, publicly bid competitively contracts for each component of the Infrastructure Improvements, and (ii) through its contract with its contractor, it will, in addition to the requirements of Sections 3.9
and 3.10, require its contractor to, pay the Prevailing Wage Rates on such contracts related to the
Infrastructure Improvements. The Developer will provide to the City all documentation requested to verify the compliance of the Developer and its contractor with the foregoing requirements. Failure of the Developer or its contractor to bid competitively contracts for each component of the Infrastructure Improvements or to require contracts entered into directly with
contractors or sub-contractors to include provisions requiring the contractor or sub-contractor to
pay the Prevailing Wage Rates on the work related to the Infrastructure Improvements will be considered a breach of this Agreement and the City will be entitled, at its discretion and without obligation, to exercise any and all measures to assure compliance and retroactive compensation plus interest to workers not paid in accordance with this Agreement, and recovery of any penalty
or fine assessed by the State attributed to any failure to pay the Prevailing Wage Rates.
Additionally, the Developer acknowledges that a violation of these requirements may, in the City’s sole discretion, cause the Infrastructure Improvements to be ineligible for the application of Tax Increment, in which case the City will have no obligation to reimburse or pay the Developer hereunder.
3.6. Utilities. The Developer shall not interfere with, or construct any improvements
over, any public street or utility easement without the prior written approval of the City. All connections to public utility lines and facilities shall be subject to approval of the City and any private utility company involved. The Developer at its own expense shall replace any public facilities or utilities damaged during the Project by the Developer or its agents or by others acting
on behalf of or under their direction or control of the Developer.
3.7. Permits and Compliance With Laws. The Developer will obtain, in a timely manner, all required permits, licenses and approvals, and will meet all requirements of all local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations which must be obtained or met in connection with the acquisition and construction of the Project, including the Infrastructure Improvements.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Developer will request and seek to obtain from the City or
other appropriate governmental authority all necessary land use, zoning, and building permits. The Developer will comply in all material respects with all Environmental Laws and Regulations applicable to the construction, acquisition, and operation of the Project, including the Infrastructure Improvements, will obtain any and all necessary environmental reviews, licenses
or clearances under, and will comply in all material respects with, Environmental Laws and
Regulations. In addition, the Developer shall comply fully with all applicable state and federal laws, regulations, and municipal ordinances related to worker safety including but not limited to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), the safety rules, codes, and provisions of the Montana Safety Act in Title 50, Chapter 71, MCA, all applicable City, County, and State
building and electrical codes, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

3.8. Easements. To the extent that the Infrastructure Improvements are to be located
on the Land, the Developer hereby agrees to grant to the City and applicable utility companies
from time to time such easements, rights-of-way and similar licenses in a form required by the City and as are reasonably necessary to permit the City to own, operate and maintain the Infrastructure Improvements.
3.9. Nondiscrimination and Equal Pay Affirmation. The Developer agrees to require
its contractor(s) to be in compliance with the City’s Nondiscrimination and Equal Pay
Affirmation attached hereto as Exhibit F, as well as Title 49, Montana Code Annotated, regarding activities related to the Project, including the Infrastructure Improvements. The Developer agrees that in its contracts with its contractors the Developer’s contractor will be required to require its subcontractors to comply with the City’s Nondiscrimination and Equal Pay
Affirmation attached hereto as Exhibit F, as well as Title 49, Montana Code Annotated,
regarding activities related to the Project. The Developer agrees to provide copies of all such contracts upon request by the City.
3.10. Worker’s Compensation Insurance. The Developer shall provide in its construction contracts related to the Project with all of its respective contractors that such
contractors are to be covered by a Worker’s Compensation insurance program with the State, a
private insurance carrier, or an approved self-insurance plan in accordance with State law.
3.11. Walkaway Provision. The Developer shall have the option, in its sole discretion and for any reason, to cease developing the Project and terminate this Agreement without penalty at any time prior to the Developer submitting any request for reimbursement or payment to the
City (“walkaway provision”). If the Developer exercises this walkaway provision, this
Agreement shall immediately terminate and all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall cease, except for those rights and obligations specifically identified in this Agreement as surviving termination. If the Developer exercises this walkaway provision, the Developer automatically waives any and all rights to reimbursement or payment from the City
under this Agreement. This walkaway provision shall not limit or prohibit any rights, claims, or
recourse that the City may have in connection with the Project. The Parties expect that, if the Developer determines to exercise this walkaway provision, the Restrictive Covenants will not be recorded against 707 Peach Street. If Outlaw records the Restrictive Covenants and, at a later date, the Developer determines to exercise the walkaway provision, the City agrees to cooperate
with Outlaw to remove the Restrictive Covenants from 707 Peach Street.
3.12. Affordable Housing Covenants. Outlaw agrees that, following the closing of its purchase of 707 Peach Street, any development at 707 Peach Street will include a minimum of 3 housing units (the “Restricted Units”), which will be restricted for a period not less than 30 years for use as housing affordable to households with incomes equal to 120% area median income
(“AMI”). As a condition to reimbursement from Project Generated Tax Increment, as described
in Section 5.1 hereof, Outlaw shall record the restrictive covenants, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Restrictive Covenants”) against 707 Peach Street. The Restrictive Covenants must (i) run with the land, (ii) bind, for a period not less than 30 years, the Restrictive Units to be affordable at 120% AMI, either as rental units or as owner-occupied units
with restrictions on resale prices, with resale and rental prices tied to affordability at 120% AMI,
and (iii) a third-party nonprofit or government entity with experience in managing affordable
DocuSign Envelope ID: 30986597-FB60-4576-80D4-958E40F6AD8B
12
housing units must manage the rental or sale of the Restricted Units. For avoidance of doubt, a
sample affordability matrix based on AMI is attached as Exhibit G; however, the affordability
requirements in the Restrictive Covenants will be index-based, tied to AMI, and pursuant to the Restrictive Covenants, rental and sale/resale prices of the Restricted Units will be based on the most recent affordability data available through the Housing and Urban Development’s Housing Availability Data System or other similar affordability data that is available at the time of rental
or sale/resale. Outlaw’s covenants described in this Section 3.12 are referred to herein as the
“Affordable Housing Covenants.” Outlaw and the Developer each acknowledge and agree that the Affordable Housing Covenants are fundamental to the City’s agreements hereunder. Outlaw acknowledges that, as development proceeds at 707 Peach Street, it may be required to record other instruments to implement the Affordable Housing Covenants and provide for the
affordability of the Restricted Units, in addition to or in replacement of the Restrictive Covenants
to be recorded as a condition to reimbursement of the Developer under this Agreement, and Outlaw agrees to record such other instruments if necessary. Outlaw acknowledges that, as determined by the City, one-person household pricing relates to studios, two-person household pricing relates to one bedroom units, three-person household pricing relates to two bedroom
units, and four-person household pricing relates to three bedroom units.
Section 4. City Undertakings. Subject to satisfaction of all conditions in Section 5 below, and solely from Project Generated Tax Increment, subject to the prior lien of the Series 2017 Bond and the debt service reserve account therefor, the City agrees to reimburse the Developer in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the Eligible Costs (not to exceed $583,445), or
(ii) the Project Generated Tax Increment.
Section 5. Reimbursement for the Eligible Costs. Reimbursement of the Developer for Eligible Costs shall be subject to the following conditions and in accordance with the following procedures:
5.1. Conditions to Reimbursement.
(a) (i) The Developer must have completed or satisfied each of the Milestones by the
applicable Milestone Date, as such date may have been extended pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof, (ii) the City must have issued a certificate of occupancy for the Project, (iii) the Infrastructure Improvements must have been completed in their entirety and the City must have delivered to the Developer written acceptance of the Infrastructure Improvements (which may be in the form
of a Certificate of Completion or such other format as required by the City), and (iv) the
Developer must demonstrate to the City’s satisfaction, by a title report or other means acceptable to the City, that the Infrastructure Improvements are free of financial liens and any encumbrances affecting the Infrastructure Improvements must be acceptable to the City.
(b) Reimbursement by the City for costs of the Infrastructure Improvements must be
based on paid invoices for costs incurred by the Developer, its contractors and subcontractors or
utility companies, which the Developer must supply to the City. The City may reject, in its sole discretion, any invoice related to the Infrastructure Improvements. The City will notify the Developer of any rejected invoice and the reason it was rejected.

(c) The Parties agree that the City will have no obligation to pay or reimburse any of
the Eligible Costs unless at the time of such request (i) all of the Developer’s representations as
set forth in Section 2.2 are true and correct, (ii) the Developer is not in breach of any covenant or undertaking as set forth in Section 3, and (iii) there shall be adequate Tax Increment on hand to satisfy all financial obligations related to the Series 2017 Bond and the debt service reserve account for the Series 2017 Bond such that Project Generated Tax Increment is available to
reimburse the Developer.
(d) The Developer and/or Outlaw shall have provided evidence satisfactory to the City of Outlaw’s compliance with the Affordable Housing Covenants and the Restrictive Covenants, which shall include evidence that the Restrictive Covenants have been recorded with the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder’s Office and, if development has proceeded at 707
Peach Street, shall include other information regarding the Restricted Units, which may include
the recorded forms of the deeds to the Restricted Units, closing statements prepared by a third-party escrow agent, outreach and marketing materials relating to the rental or sale of the affordable housing units, rental and/or sale data relating to the Restricted Units, and/or other relevant information.
(e) After receiving a certificate of occupancy for the Project, the Developer shall
provide to the City a signed Developer certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E-1 hereto and acceptable to the City, accompanied by the invoices and lien waivers from the contractors or subcontractors that have performed the work to be reimbursed. In addition, the Developer agrees to provide to the City any additional information requested by the City for the
City to determine whether the Developer’s request for reimbursement complies with this
Agreement. Based on this Developer certificate and the related information provided by the Developer, the City Manager or his or her designee shall determine the total dollar amount of Eligible Costs that may be reimbursed (up to $583,445).
(f) The Developer or other person(s) or entity responsible for paying such taxes, shall
have paid property taxes with respect to the Project for two full Fiscal Years after the assessed
and taxable values of the Project, as completed, are reflected in the certified taxable values of the City provided by the Department of Revenue. For example, if the Project is completed in April 2023, the value of the Project as completed will be assessed by the Department of Revenue in January 2024; included in certified values provided to the City in August 2024; and the
Developer must pay property taxes due November 30, 2024, May 31, 2025, November 30, 2025
and May 31, 2026 (fiscal years 2024/25 and 2025/26) before it is eligible for reimbursement. The amounts paid by the Developer in the first five Fiscal Years for which the assessed and taxable values of the Project, as completed, are reflected in the certified taxable values of the City constitute the “Project Generated Tax Increment.”
If any of the above conditions are not satisfied in the determination of the City, the City shall
have no obligation to reimburse any of the Eligible Costs and the City’s determination to refrain from reimbursing, or its inability to reimburse, any of the Eligible Costs shall not be or result in a default of this Agreement.

5.2. Process for Reimbursement.
(a) Following determination of the dollar amount of the Eligible Costs that may be
reimbursed under Section 5.1(e), and the Developer’s payment of property taxes relating to the Project as completed for two full Fiscal Years, as described under Section 5.1(f) above, Developer shall submit to the Director of Economic Development a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2, together with such supporting documentation as may be
requested by the City, showing the amount of the Project Generated Tax Increment paid by the
Developer at that time.
(b) The Parties expect that the Project Generated Tax Increment generated in the first two Fiscal Years after the assessed and taxable values of the Project, as completed, are reflected in the certified taxable values of the City will be sufficient to reimburse the Developer in full for
the Eligible Costs (up to $583,445). However, if the Project does not generate sufficient Project
Generated Tax Increment to reimburse the Developer in full for the Eligible Costs (up to $583,445) in the first two Fiscal Years after the full assessed and taxable values of the Project, as completed, are reflected in the City’s certified values, the Developer may submit additional certificates and requests for reimbursement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
E-2. Such certificates may be submitted not more than twice in any Fiscal Year. If the Project
Generated Tax Increment has not been sufficient to reimburse the Developer in full for the Eligible Costs (up to $583,445) by the end of the fifth Fiscal Year after the assessed and taxable values of the Project, as completed, are reflected in the certified taxable values of the City, this Agreement shall terminate and the Developer is not eligible for additional reimbursement.
Section 6. Covenants to Pay Taxes.
6.1. Taxes. The Developer, or, following completion of the Project and the establishment of the Project as a condominium, the condominium owners’ association, as the Developer’s successor and assign under this Agreement (the “Condominium Owners’ Association”), shall pay or cause to be paid when due and prior to the imposition of penalty all
Taxes and all installments of any special assessments payable with respect to the Land and the
Project and any improvements thereto or extension thereof.
6.2. Maintenance of Land and Project. The Developer, for itself and its successors and assigns, including the Condominium Owners’ Association or other future owners of the Land and the Project, agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain and
operate the Land and the Project so as to be able at all times to pay promptly and when due all
property taxes levied with respect to the Land and the Project.
6.3. Injunction; Specific Performance. The Parties agree that, in the event of a breach of this Section 6 by the Developer or its successors or assigns, the City would suffer irreparable harm. Therefore, in the event the Developer or its successors or assigns fails to comply with the
provisions of this Section 6, the Developer agrees that the City may pursue any remedy at law or
in equity, including, without limitation, the remedies of injunction and specific performance.

Section 7. Indemnification and Insurance.
7.1. Indemnification. The Developer releases the City and all City Commission
members, board members, officers, agents, servants and employees of the City (the “Indemnified Parties”) from, and covenants and agrees that the Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for, and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against, any loss, damage, cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), claim, demand, suit, action or other proceeding
whatsoever (i) arising or purportedly arising out of, or resulting or purportedly resulting from,
the acquisition and construction of the Project, including the Infrastructure Improvements, any violation by the Developer of any agreement, condition or covenant of this Agreement, the ownership, maintenance and operation of the Project, or the presence on any portion of the Land, of any dangerous, toxic or hazardous pollutants, contaminants, chemicals, waste, materials or
substances; or (ii) which is proximately caused by the Developer or its officers, agents,
contractors, consultants or employees.
7.2. Insurance. Developer, or, following completion of the Project, the Condominium Owners’ Association, shall keep and maintain the Project at all times insured against such risks and in such amounts, with such deductible provisions, as are customary in connection with
facilities of the type and size comparable to the Project, and the Developer, or the Condominium
Owners’ Association, shall carry and maintain, or cause to be carried and maintained, and pay or cause to be paid timely the premiums for direct damage insurance covering all risks of loss, including, but not limited to, the following:
1. fire
2. extended coverage perils
3. vandalism and malicious mischief 4. boiler explosion (but only if steam boilers are present) 5. collapse
on a replacement cost basis in an amount equivalent to the Full Insurable Value thereof. “Full
Insurable Value” shall include the actual replacement cost of the Project, exclusive of
foundations and footings, without deduction for architectural, engineering, legal or administrative fees or for depreciation. The policies required by this Section 7.2 shall be subject to a no coinsurance clause or contain an agreed amount clause, and must contain a deductibility provision not exceeding $100,000.
Subject to the terms of any mortgage relating to the Project, policies of insurance
required by this Section 7.2 shall insure and be payable to Developer or the Condominium Owners’ Association and shall provide for release of insurance proceeds to Developer or the Condominium Owners’ Association for restoration of loss. The City shall be furnished certificates showing the existence of such insurance. In case of loss, Developer or the
Condominium Owners’ Association is hereby authorized to adjust the loss and execute proof
thereof in the name of all parties in interest.
During construction of the Project, any and all of the foregoing insurance policies may be maintained by the Developer’s contractor; provided that once the Project is placed into service, Developer or the Condominium Owners’ Association shall maintain all of the foregoing
DocuSign Envelope ID: 30986597-FB60-4576-80D4-958E40F6AD8B
16
insurance policies. In addition, as a condition to placing the Project in service, the City may
require that the Developer or owner of the Project obtain additional insurance that would protect
the City or the City’s interest in the Infrastructure Improvements.
In addition to and independent of the above, the Developer shall at the Developer’s expense secure liability insurance through an insurance company or companies duly licensed and authorized to conduct insurance business in Montana. The insurance shall not contain any
exclusion for liabilities specifically assumed by the Developer in this Section. The insurance
shall cover and apply to all claims, demands, suits, damages, losses, and expenses that may be asserted or claimed against, recovered from, or suffered by the City in relation to construction of the Project and the Infrastructure Improvements without limit and without regard to the cause therefore. The Developer must furnish to the City an accompanying certificate of insurance and
accompanying endorsements in amounts not less than as follows:
Commercial General Liability - $1,000,000 per occurrence; $2,000,000 annual aggregate
The above amounts shall be exclusive of defense costs. The City, its officers, agents, and employees, shall be endorsed as an additional or named insured on a primary non-contributory
basis on the Commercial General Liability policy. The insurance and required endorsements
must be in a form suitable to City and shall include no less than a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation or non-renewal. The City must approve all insurance coverage and endorsements prior to the Developer commencing work on Project or Infrastructure Improvements. Developer must notify the City within two (2) business days of Developer’s receipt of notice that any
required insurance coverage will be terminated or Developer’s decision to terminate any required
insurance coverage for any reason.
Section 8. General Provisions.
8.1. Conflicts of Interest; City’s Representatives Not Individually Liable. The Developer represents that it does not employ, retain, or contract with an officer or employee of
the City and that no member, officer or employee of the City has a personal or financial interest,
direct or indirect, in this Agreement or in the Project, or a financial interest in the Infrastructure Improvements. No member, officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to Developer in the event of any default under or breach of this Agreement by the City, or for any amount that may become due to Developer for any obligation issued under or arising from the
terms of this Agreement.
8.2. Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Parties of this Agreement, whether provided by law or by this Agreement, shall be cumulative, and the exercise by any Party hereto of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the exercise by such Party, at the same or different times, of any other remedy for the same default or breach or of any of its
remedies for any other default or breach of the Party subject to the limitation of remedies
provided herein. No waiver made by such Party with respect to the performance or the manner or time thereof, of any obligation under this Agreement, shall be considered a waiver with respect to the particular obligation of the other Party or a condition to its own obligation beyond those expressly waived in writing and to the extent thereof, or a waiver in any respect in regard
DocuSign Envelope ID: 30986597-FB60-4576-80D4-958E40F6AD8B
17
to any other rights of the Party making the waiver of any obligations of the other Party. Delay by
a Party hereto instituting or prosecuting any cause of action or claim hereunder shall not be
deemed a waiver of any rights hereunder.
8.3. Term of Agreement.
(a) This Agreement shall remain in effect until the earlier of (i) the date that is 10 days after the date the City reimburses the Developer in full hereunder, or (ii) the termination of

Agreement may be earlier terminated by the City in its sole discretion at any time after failure by the Developer to complete or satisfy a Milestone by the applicable Milestone Payment Date (as such date may be extended as described in Section 3.4).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.3, (i) Sections 6, 7, and
8 of this Agreement shall in all events survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) if the
Developer is reimbursed under this Agreement, Section 3.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
8.4. Limitation on City Liability. No agreements or provisions contained in this Agreement nor any agreement, covenant or undertaking by the City contained in any document
in connection with the Project, including the Infrastructure Improvements, or the Eligible Costs
shall give rise to any pecuniary liability of the City or a charge against its general credit or taxing powers, or shall obligate the City financially in any way except with respect to then-available Project Generated Tax Increment. No failure of the City to comply with any term, condition, covenant or agreement herein shall subject the City to liability for any claim for damages, costs
or other financial or pecuniary charge except to the extent that the same can be paid or recovered
from then-available Project Generated Tax Increment; and no execution on any claim, demand, cause of action or judgment shall be levied upon or collected from the general credit, general funds or taxing powers of the City (except as such constitute then-available Project Generated Tax Increment). Nothing herein shall preclude a proper party in interest from seeking and
obtaining specific performance against the City for any failure to comply with any term,
condition, covenant or agreement herein; provided that no costs, expenses or other monetary relief shall be recoverable from the City except as may be payable from the Project Generated Tax Increment. This Agreement shall not constitute or be construed to give rise to a debt of the City.
8.5. Assignment. This Agreement is unique among the City, the Developer and
Outlaw and no Party may assign any rights or privileges, or delegate any duties or obligations under this Agreement, without first obtaining the written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding, Outlaw may assign its interest in and delegate its duties under this Agreement to a related entity that may be created for the purchase of 707 Peach Street, with written notice to
the City identifying such successor entity.

constitute a third-party beneficiary agreement, and may not be relied upon or enforced by a third
party. This Agreement, by itself, does not create or give rise to a property interest in the Land or
the Project.
8.7. Prior Agreements. This Agreement supersedes, merges and voids any and all prior discussions, negotiations, agreements and undertakings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. The Parties waive and release each other from any claims,

matter. All Parties shall be prohibited from offering into evidence in any arbitration or civil
